Her Interview
Ten minutes with Kirby
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to faith, perseverance, and the courage to pursue my goals even when they feel uncertain. I believe that when you have a vision, you should take the first step without waiting to have everything perfectly figured out, and not let fear or others discourage you. Although I am naturally reserved, I pushed myself to step outside my comfort zone, stayed focused, and surrounded myself with supportive, like-minded people. While working two jobs and facing personal challenges, including the loss of my father in 2006, I continued to move forward. One of my proudest accomplishments is earning my master’s degree last year, a milestone that reflects years of hard work, sacrifice, and determination.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received is to stay grounded in purpose, remain consistent, and trust the guidance of strong mentors along the way. I’ve been fortunate to have influential mentors like Rhonda Caldwell and Apostle Brynn Stewart, who have continually guided, encouraged, and supported me throughout both my personal and professional journey.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering my industry is to trust the vision you’ve been given and move forward with confidence, even if you don’t feel fully ready. Don’t let fear or the opinions of others stop you from starting—progress begins with taking that first step. I’ve learned that growth often requires stepping outside of your comfort zone, even when it feels intimidating, especially if you naturally prefer to stay in the background like I once did. Surround yourself with like-minded, supportive people who will encourage your growth, and don’t be afraid to start while still feeling uncertain. If your goals don’t challenge you or scare you a little, they may not be big enough—so start where you are, have faith, and keep building as you go.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
A lot of the biggest struggles I see are depression, but it comes from being overwhelmed or overextending themselves. People are trying to be a mother, a wife, and carry the weight of the world. So it's really like depression from stress and being overweight. Mental health is so important, and a lot of people don't really understand that. It's a spotlight on it now, but there hasn't been before, and there's just so much to mental health and self-care that I just feel the world needs to know. That's why I want to be able to practice that on my own with my own company.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in both my work and personal life are family, service, faith, and community. I am very family-oriented and deeply value spending time with my loved ones, especially caring for my mother in her 80s and staying actively involved in her well-being. I also value connection and balance, whether that’s traveling with my sisters on our annual trips, enjoying cooking, participating in church activities, or simply taking time to rest and recharge. Professionally, I am committed to being an advocate for mental health awareness and supporting my community. My goal is to continue connecting with others, especially women and like-minded individuals, to offer support, share resources, and help expand awareness beyond my immediate community.
